Sugar syrup perfect for sweetening and flavoring your favorite Middle Eastern and Mediterranean desserts. This recipe makes a large amount enough for drizzling and soaking multiple dishes.  Two special ingredients make it last months and months without ever crystallizing, making it ideal for long storage!
